"This beach is truly amazing, with its golden fine sand adding to its beauty."
Nate Silvaire
"The spot is absolutely stunning and situated in a sheltered cove. It's recommended to arrive early to secure a beach chair, which typically cost between 200 to 300 pesos each, or you can simply lay on the golden fine sand."
